Dry Apple

If you like Pinot Grigio, you’ll love this wine made only from NH-grown apples! Small batches of our favorite apple varieties are fermented immediately after pressing at a low temperature. This preserves the fruity freshness, yet lends a crisp calvados nose to our flagship wine. Drink this dry wine as you would any white wine, even as an aperitif. Best served chilled.
